Detailed Description

The Gates 7760 accessory drive belt is engineered as a replacement V-belt for engines that place consistent demand on the belt drive. As the belt heats up, the variable notched design helps it seat more firmly in the pulley system, which can improve grip and reduce squeal under load. This makes it a practical choice for maintenance on Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge vehicles where accessory drive performance matters.

Gates’ High Capacity V-Belt (Standard) line focuses on durable construction and dependable fitment characteristics. With EPDM rubber, polyester reinforcement, and a single-strand HC41 profile, the Gates 7760 is specified for applications that require a 10 mm wide belt with a 1930 mm effective length. This part cross-references Bosch 13761 for the same application.
